GS The Best Nintendo Switch & Switch 2 Deals This Week - April 2, 2026

Several popular Switch 2 games are available for cheap right now, making this a wonderful time to start building out your library. This includes RPG hits like Octopath Traveler 0, casual farming games like Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, and the sci-fi horror of Cronos. Console deals this week are a bit harder to come by. Woot was running a flash sale offering the Switch 2 for just $400, but it sold out quickly. That means your best bet is still a full-priced unit from your typical retailers. However, there are a few fun accessories on sale, so if you're looking for some new gear, there's still a chance to cash in on great price cuts this week.

Ready to get shopping? Here are the best Switch and Switch 2 deals available right now, covering everything from video games and accessories to consoles and more. Preorders are also open for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Steelbook on 4K Blu-ray, which is priced at $38. Give it a look if you want to add it to your collection as soon as possible--and don't want to worry about this unique steelbook selling out.

There are a bunch of excellent Switch 2 game deals this week. Assassin's Creed Shadows is still cheap at $38.75 (was $60). You'll also find Octopath Traveler 0 at its lowest price ever ($40, was $50), which our review gave an 8/10 for its deep customization options and a nice balance between relaxed town-building and intense combat. If you're glad it's finally spring, check out Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar to run your own farm and explore small-town living. It's only seeing a slight discount to $40 (was $50), but this is the best price we've seen for it on Switch 2.

Cronos is also available for its best price ever at $29.49 (was $40). Developed by Bloober Team, the survival horror game also earned an 8/10 in our review, thanks to an ominous soundtrack, tense action, and a creepy sci-fi world that's teaming with secrets. If you're a long-time fan of Bloober Team (or horror games in general), it's bound to be a good addition to your library.

Over on Switch, you can find Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake for $40 (was $60). We'd highly recommend it to just about everyone, as it does a wonderful job of modernizing the iconic game for a new audience. For more retro action made modern, Super Mario RPG is available for $36 (was $60). That matches its lowest price ever, which we last saw in the summer of 2025. And if The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has you obsessed with Yoshi, you can pick up Yoshi's Crafted World for $47 (was $60).

Though they're not quite "accessories," several Amiibo are still discounted at Best Buy (these have been around for a few weeks now). This includes the Street Fighter 6: Luke Amiibo for $10 (was $40), Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Tulin Amiibo for $20 (was $30), and the Kirby & Warp Star Amiibo for $40 (was $50). A few others are up for grabs, so be sure to check out the full catalog. We can't imagine they'll remain at this price much longer.

As far as controllers are concerned, the Turtle Beach Rematch Wireless Controller (Donkey Kong) is currently one of the best options. Available for $32.59 (was $60), this is the lowest price we've ever seen for the popular model. Along with support for both Switch and Switch 2, it features a striking lenticular design that shifts as you move the controller. Coupled with two programmable back buttons, support for motion controls, and up to 40 hours of play on a charge, and it's quite a great deal at under $35.

If you plan to travel with your Switch, you should probably pair it with a durable travel case. Consider grabbing the RDS Industries Game Traveler Deluxe Crossbody Bag for $20 (was $30). Featuring a padded pocket for the console and enough extra space for some games, microSD cards, and other accessories, it's an easy way to schlep around your handheld. The horizontal format is still listed at $20, but the vertical format has officially sold out at this price.

To load up on tons of accessories in one fell swoop, the Next Ultimate Switch 2 Starter Kit is worth checking out. It's available for $20 and includes about $44 worth of items, including a travel case, textured thumbstick grips, a 45W USB-C PD vehicle charger, a glass screen protector, and a game case.

Best Switch Console Deals

While there aren't any truly enticing Switch 2 console deals at the moment, GameStop is offering the Switch Lite (Gray) for $180 (was $230), and a refurbished Switch OLED Model is $270 (was $400) at Best Buy. Switch console deals are hard to come by, so expect to pay full price for both the Switch and Switch 2 for the foreseeable future.
